I think photography can reproduce not only the outside of the world but also the inner world of ourselves. I try to touch the depth of my heart by taking photographs of flowers. I always find it's so dark, and I don't know why, there is an image of water.

While I'm looking at flowers through the lens, I'm waiting for a moment... the camera eye turns to the inner eye. I believe such a magical moment. I hope to see and catch not only the visible but also the invisible.

What is the invisible ? I have no words to describe it, however I know it really exists in the depths of my heart.

I'm trying to give a shape to those obscure images by means of photograph. It was not always successful in it. I know well it's very difficult....
